Arthur Luiz Piza was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1928. He moved to Paris in 1951 and worked in the studio of a master color etcher, Johnny Friedlaender. Piza quickly became an expert in all the techniques of etching and aquatint using sugar-lift extensively. He experimented in various ways to make his work more sculptural and three dimensional. He abandoned traditional etching techniques and by using very thick copper plates, he devised his unique gouge technique. This technique was devised by incising his designs into his plates with hammers and various shaped chisels. The precision required is exact as his grooves need to be precisely deep and wide enough to hold his handmade special inks. Because of the depth of the grooves, the direction of the wiping directly affected the final impression. From 1958, Piza devoted himself primarily to burin engraving. Starting from this period, the artist created reliefs and collages, as well as sculpted objects, porcelain, and jewelry. During the 1960s, Piza became known as one of the most compelling representatives of the art of engraving. The artist works with the perception of matter, matter that is imaginary and poeticized. Piza lived and worked in Paris for most of his life.

Etching 1916 Number II
By Wassily Kandinsky
Located in New York, NY
Wassily Kandinsky (1866-1944), Etching 1916 Number II, drypoint, signed in pencil lower right, titled, numbered (No. 9) and dated lower left [also with initials and date in the plate lower right]. Reference: Roethel 154, only state, edition of 10. In excellent condition (the barest handling fold at sheet edge), printed on a heavy ivory wove paper, the full sheet with full margins, 4 7/8 x 3 1/4, the sheet 17 1/2 x 13 inches, archival mount with window mat. A fine fresh impression of this great rarity, printed in a dark brown ink. Kandinsky created this drypoint (erroneously named Etching 1916) in early 1916 while staying with Gabriel Munter in Stockholm during the winter of 1915-16. This is from the second series of drypoints he made; the first was in the year 1913-14. Provenance: Kornfeld Auction, Bern, June 2007. The tiny size of this edition (10) makes this print a great rarity within the Kandinsky’s printed...
